Lots of ways to balance these out: 1) Change the (un)socketing from a move to a standard or even a full action (that provokes an AOO) 2) Weapons have 1 crystal slot as a base. Make the cost of adding another slot +1 enhancement bonus to the weapon (that totally deals with the cost factor)...

Let everyone pick their 1st class as normal and work themelves out as per usual. Then add on 1 level of an NPC class. I know that seems backwards, but mechanically and thematically it works out better. The 1st level is the most important one and defines the characters.

When the kobold first gets within 20' of a player you should tell them about it, that's when you have your surprise action. The effect of a Silence spell is really really obvious to the people in it. There is no sound, the absence of all sound is really obvious to people when engulfed in it...

Don't worry about the powergamers so much. Let them be power gamers, it's what they want. Don't screw their characters, that's petty. You are the DM. You are in control. No player can get away with anything unles syou let him. 1) Anything from a source you don't have should be banned...

Empowered twice An double empowered, doubly extended bulls strength (which is an 8th level slot) was possibly +10 for 45 hours - that's +5 to hit and damage for 2 days. Stick that on TOP of the polymorph... Stick it on the party's fighter, no 8th level spell could compete with the damage that...

Every God should have at least one holy day (holiday) dedicated to him - the religion considers these important. States where that religion is strong should also consider them important and they should be "official" holidays. The particular day should be chosen for some significant action of...

The metamagic feat that really breaks when you apply it multiple times is Extend. Take a high level cleric (i.e. 20th). He has +5 armour and shield that last for 120 hours. +5 weapons that last for 100 hours. For the next 3-4 days he still has the benefit of all of those spells without it...

1) You have to successfully dimension anchor him - your cohort might miss after all. That just reduces the frequency of trapped efreeti though. So you can still call Efreetil. 2) You begin casting Geas. The efreeti turns invisible. You can no longer see him to complete the targeting. I...

How about... give the player the Monster Manual at the relevant page. He gets a number of seconds equal to his skill roll to look at it. If he exceeds that time, then he is taking a standard action to think about it....

Turning should use the unified Game Mechanics of Attack vs AC: Turn Attack Roll: 1D20 + Turning Level + Cha Modifier. Your Turning level = Cleric level + (pally lvl -3) Undead should have a Turn Resistance of 10 + HD + Undead Type Modifier If you don't hit their Turn AC they take no effect...

Alter Self: Natural AC 6 Barkskin: +3 Natural AC (druid spell) Shield of Faith: +3 Deflection AC (@ 9th caster level) Luminous Armor, Greater: +8 Armour Ac Shield: +4 Shield Haste +1 AC Silverbeard: +2 Sacred AC (paladin spell) Cats Grace: +2 AC (from increased Dex Reduce Person +1 from Size AC...

The Cheese I was thinking of when I asked my question at the root message did of course incolve the mystic theurge. Go Wiz3, Cleric 3 and then Mystic Theurge 1. That's a pretty much standard thing. Then take Geomancer. Geomancer says that it improves a spell casting class you possessed...

I'd be looking at Divine Vigor for temporary HP, which is for all intents and puroses the same as healing, each use is about the same as a 3rd level cure spell. Divine Shield and an Animated Shield to let you continue using your greatsword while increasing your AC. I'd be tempted to take a 1...

You just pay the difference in cost between the two items.

When a prestige class such as the Loremasters says "When a new loremaster level is gained, the character gains new spells per day (and spells known, if applicable) as if she had also gained a level in a spellcasting class she belonged to before she added the prestige class." Can this be added...

vs Undead: I added a feat that allowed people to score a critical on a 20 on undead. No matter what you are using 20/*2. You could take the feat multiple times to increase the range by 1 or the damage by 1. Limit 19-20/*3 for 3 feats. The feat was not normally available, unless you had...

Gather Information or Diplomacy. These are the skills to find items and/or to buy them, I let people use either, setting DC's based on the value of the item and the locale they are in. I'd need to check my notes, but broadly it's something like DC15 + Value/500. It's a full day action to...

If it's for an NPC don't worry about it. Just give them the ability or the item. Bump up their CR by whatever you feel is apropriate for it (1-2). The easiest way to get a "free" move: A gnome wizard who only memorises shrink (personal) and teleport type spells. The gnome wizard is shrunk...

Sunder rules are seriously broken as is trip and grapple. All of these are tricks that should be attempted occasionally, not used as the main-stay of combat. The rules favour using these over normal attacks, and that's just plain wrong. If these combat techniques were so much better than...

To evaluate the MT total spell power, I take a slightly different view. Using the basic cleric, wizard and a W7/C3/MT10 you get the following totals - this ignores any extra spells for high wisdom and intelligence. Take the number of spell at each level and multiple by the spell level - this...
